What to Expect

Our congregation is warm and friendly, and we welcome visitors to our worship service. While people will greet you before and after the service, no one will single you out in worship or make you stand. We don’t like to embarrass our guests!

How do I join?

We hold membership classes a few times each year. If you decide to join, the Church Council (or Session) will meet with you briefly to learn about you. Then you will be welcomed into the congregation in a worship service. Please contact the Pastor or the church office if you are interested in joining.

Youth & Families

Our Middle School and High School youth are an integral part of our church community. They are active as worship leaders and in mentoring younger children. In the summer of 2018, the youth will be involved as leaders of our Summer Arts Camp. Our High School Youth (rising 9th through graduated seniors) will attend the annual Montreat Youth Conference in July in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. High School youth and young adults will join together for an unforgettable mission trip to New York City in August.

Confirmation

Confirmation is an opportunity for our youth to learn about our faith tradition, to understand the particularities of the Presbyterian Church (USA), and to wrestle with and take ownership of their faith. Emphasis is placed on engaging youth in the life of the church. Confirmation is the beginning of a journey, surrounded by peers, mentors, leaders, parents and the entire congregation.

Community Care Policy

First Presbyterian Church of Stillwater believes that we are called by God to create a safe haven for all the children and youth in our care, protecting those who are powerless and empowering them through faith and trust. We require all adults who work with children and youth to attend a policy training, obtain a background check, and sign a yearly commitment form.
